Welcome to Programming I

This web site is structured primarily to enhance the Programming I course which includes programming logic, the study of programming languages, and an introduction to the Visual Basic program. It is detailed enough for the beginner programmer to learn the fundamentals of Visual Basic and to create simple projects. The course includes a Web Quest focusing on the application of the appropriate programming language to use for an assignment. This website makes the assumption that Visual Basic is the best choice of programming language and takes the student on a short journey of creating a form and basic code so they are versed enough to create an assignment: Hello World. At times reference will be made to an additional on-line tutorial or project notes.  These items are only available to my students on the school network. If an item is posted on the web, I will provide the access information in the instructions. Click here to link to the course objectives.

Steps to complete the course:

1. Click on the Web Quest link and complete the lesson on Computer Science Research and Development. This will provide you with the fundamental skills needed to determine and select the best programming language for a given problem.
    

2. Link back to this website and proceed with the lesson on Visual Basic. At the end of this lesson, you will be presented with a Hello World project where you will apply your Visual Basic knowledge and programming skills.
    

3. At any time you need assistance or have a question, complete the Feedback form or email me. If it is during regular school hours, see me during a study hall or between classes.
